With Sheehan grape varieties increasing in popularity, South Africa and Namibia expects just over two million cartons from the 2015/2016 season, says Dennis Pretorius of AMC Fruit. He explains that 30-35% of this has been harvested from early areas such as Namibia, Orange River, Limpopo and Mpumalanga.
These areas have not been affected by the dry weather thus far, but the later regions such as the Olifants River area may have a problem, and growers need to manage their water sources carefully
